Impact of HbA1c levels on coronary SYNTAX score in non-diabetic patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Caspian journal of internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level is related to increased cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and death, even in non-diabetic subjects. Although in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases, the association between HbA1c and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unclear. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 167 non-diabetic STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The SYNTAX score was utilized to evaluate CAD severity. Cases were categorized into three groups based on the HbA1c levels: <5%, 5.1-5.9%, and 6-6.5%. Results: SYNTAX scores significantly increased in the cases with 6 to 6.5 HbA1c levels compared to the other group (28.9±9.5 vs 21.2±5.2 vs 13.7±4.5, P=0.000). Additionally, death was more elevated in this group (4% vs 0% vs 0%, P=0.006). Conclusion: Higher HbA1c levels are strongly associated with coronary atherosclerosis in non-diabetic patients that present with non-diabetic STEMI. Consequently, in non-diabetic STEMI patients, HbA1c may be able to predict the severity of CAD.
